Lots of superstar players on the main slate, but many have challenging match-ups. Here are my must-starts and sleeper picks.
QUARTERBACK
Confidence Play: Geno Smith (vs LV)
Smith finally has his full complement of weapons: Hall, Wilson, Cooper, Mitchell, and more.
Very Streamable: Jacoby Brissett (at DAL)
Brissett attempted 48 passes for 272 yards last week, and the negative game script points to substantial passing volume again this week.
Run it back: Michael Penix Jr. (at TB)
Keep jamming Penix in until he stops delivering the boom.
RUNNING BACK
Lock Button: Bhayshul Tuten (vs IND)
Bell cow Tuten has legit 30-point potential at home as a 10 point favorite.
Run Funnel: Blake Corum (vs LAC)
Corum and Kyren Williams are splitting drives 50-50 with Corum running fewer routes. As a -6.5 favorite at “home” against the Chargers, this game has all of the hallmarks of a Corum break-through performance.
